H. E. PARKISON RESIGNS AS TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE

Has Served Four Years and Finds That the Office is a Drain On His Own Business. Harvey E. Parkison, trustee of Marion township for the past four years and whose term of office was extended along with others for two years more by an act of the legislature, has tendered his resignation to the board of county commissioners. He sets January Ist as the time for his resignation taking effect, as he will then have completed his four years in the office. Mr. Parkison believes that he has completed the term for which he was elected by. the voters of the township and that his private business needs are such that he can not continue for two years more as the trustee without ainanifest injury to his business. The office also keeps him away from -home -much of the time and leaves Mrs. Parkison alone on the farm. Mr. Parkison has made a splendid trustee. He has been impartial in its administration and has exercised the proper policy of progress and economy.
